Movie Reviews of Dorothy Dandridge: An American Beauty
Movie Review: Great Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie! Halle Berry was the perfect person to play this role. Dorothy Dandridge made one too many wrong decisions in her life, but she will always be an icon and a very courageous, talented and sexy black woman for breaking barriers in the world of Hollywood.
Summary of Dorothy Dandridge: An American Beauty
Dorothy Dandridge was both goddess and trailblazer - - Magical in a nightclub, on television or in film - - Mysterious away from the lights, camera and action. Here is the Dorothy you haven't been introduced to - - a close-up look at her triumphant and tragic life.Obba Babatunde, the man who played Harold Nicholas in "Introducing Dorothy Dandridge," hosts this one-hour program.
Interviews with *Halle Berry, *Brock Peters, *Fayard Nicholas, *Joe Adams, * Jasmine Guy, *Laurence Fishburne, and others, as well as unseen, rare footage and photographs help explain Dorothy Dandrige as never before.
Her personal life was full of torment and tragedy, yet fueled by her charisma, talent and strong will, Dorothy became Hollywood's first full-fledged black female movie star.
Born into a racist, sexist world, Dorothy Dandridge rose above its restrictions to become a cultural icon and set a new standard for American Beauty.
